-> I finely get on to an interesting Net and the last message I get is
-> from Nov. 7 1996. Either this system I'm on isn't picking up or
-> there's not much chatter out there.
-> E.M.S. sure has changed since I started my first job in South Lake
-> Tahoe, in 1976. I was looking for a job and dropped by the local
-> ambulance company, thinking I might get on washing ambulances or
-> something. The owner of the company walked up to me and asked me
-> what experience I had. I told him I was in Viet Nam and had my
-> Advanced First Aid and C.P.R. cards. He threw me a red jacket and
-> said great, let's go, we have a call. It was like that back then, IF
-> you could do the job and IF you wanted to do the job, you did it. I
-> worked for that man for two years, everything you can imagine, heart
-> attacks to car accidents. I finely, with his help, got my E.M.T.
-> rating and went to work for a large ambulance company down in Reno.
-> After five years of E.M.S. I had a terminal case of "Burn Out" and
-> got out of it. Let my rating slide and "never" wanted to get into a
-> rig again.
-> Never say Never! I'm back and trying to get caught up on all the
-> latest developments. I just started my week in the E.R. at our local
-> hospital. Wow, what a difference. Now we have E.M.T.-B,-C, and A.
-> Tahoe has changed some, but it's still no Reno or Sacramento. I'm
-> still out here with my ass in the wind  but would like to
-> hear from someone, so I don't feel like I'm the only one.

 I sometimes feel the same way about this echo not getting out, mail
come in spurts.
